"I'd Rather" ~ LUTHER VANDROSS

I thought sometime alone

was what we really needed

you said this time would hurt more than it helps

but I couldn't see that

I thought it was the end of a beautiful story

and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone

and I tried to find out if this one thing is true

that I'm nothing without you

I know better now and I've had a change of heart

And then I met someone

and thought she could replace you

we got a long just fine

we wasted time because she was not you

we had a lot of fun

though we knew we were faking

love was not impressed with our connection built on lies, all lies

so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true

that I'm nothing without you

I know better now

and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else

I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself

I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,

I can only prove the things I say with time, please be mine,
